Wrap It Up

The sales have happened, so have the purchases, now on to the fun part, wrapping it!   One of my favorite days of the year is when I take a day, and head to Container Store to shop their gift wrap.   Of course I preview it online the day it comes out, and get an idea in my head of what I want the feel/vibe to be.  Then, I put on my cute, yet comfy clothes, and head to the store.  I have had the privilege of working with one of the buyers there in the past, where we walk through the store with a cart, and choose every paper I love.   We then take a step back, and start to see what flows together, eliminating, and then filling holes and gaps so it flows.

I choose a paper print for each person I am wrapping for,  and then choose ribbon that will coordinate with each package, while maintaining the integrity of the flow.   The last step is so important, it can’t be left out…we choose gift tags and ornaments/toppers for each paper/person.    Container Store also has video tutorials on their website on how to tie the perfect bow, how to wrap cookies, etc, so make sure to check out their website at www.containerstore.com.   This is a splurge, and for me, it is worth it, but I understand for those on a budget, please know we have you taken care of too!

I added in solid colors to make it not look cluttered in navy, red, and gold.

Here are some of the ribbons I used.   When picking out ribbon, you want to make sure you have wired ribbon as they make the prettiest bows.

Don’t forget the fun toppers that are ornaments and become a part of your tree, and gift tags too!

Here are a few examples of the value sets they have this year too.

Kate loves her gift wrap to be more simple and easy,  yet very on point.    She uses kraft paper and then adds velvet, satin, and gingham ribbons.   Using kraft paper is so fun because you can actually write on it too!   I love how it has a vintage southern feel.

Here are her picks for this year.

Hope your gifts are wrapped just the way you want and that you’re enjoying the stages of the holiday season!

    Oh my goodness! This is all so cute! I had to read the article to check them out! I love the idea of putting an ornament on the present as a part of the gift! I don’t know why I have never done that!
